Skip Genie

What Skip Genie does

Skip Genie, LLC is a Houston, Texas-based, privately-held software company founded around 2017–2018 that provides skip tracing data services to real estate investors and wholesalers. Its core product, The Tracer, is a web-based search tool that aggregates credit bureau-grade data from multiple sources and applies proprietary cross-referencing algorithms to return homeowner contact information — including up to ten ranked phone numbers (landline and mobile), email addresses, address history, deceased-owner indicators, and relative/associate relationships. A companion Bulk Search service processes spreadsheet lists or returned mail at $1.35–$2.25 per record with 48-hour turnaround.

The company monetizes through a hybrid subscription plus usage-based model: the base #1 Plan is priced at $58/month with 100 included searches, additional basic and relative searches at $0.17 per record, bulk processing at tiered per-record rates, and optional Smart Credits for DNC scrubbing and Caller ID verification at $0.02 per phone number. Skip Genie distributes exclusively via direct online self-service through web.skipgenie.com with a free trial and frictionless onboarding, supported by content marketing, podcast appearances, and weekly Wednesday coaching webinars hosted by co-founder Larry Higgins. The customer base consists entirely of individual and SMB real estate investors targeting distressed-property sellers; no enterprise or institutional customers are disclosed. The company operates nationwide in the United States only, appears bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and currently has 11–50 employees.

Emerging players

• PropStream: Comprehensive real estate investor platform offering comps, marketing, list stacking, and built-in skip tracing. Broader incumbent that bundles skip tracing inside a larger workflow tool, competing for the same RE investor wallet.
• TLO (TransUnion): Established skip tracing and people-search database owned by TransUnion, serving legal, government, and commercial users. Broader incumbent with deeper institutional data sources; competes in accuracy but lacks Skip Genie's RE investor focus and community layer.
